Crowned by Fire

Crowned by Fire

They mistook the flames for destruction,
Never seeing they were lighting my way.
Every ember forged another chapter,
Every dawn rose from yesterday.

My crown was never made of gold,
Nor diamonds bought by borrowed fame.
It was forged within relentless fires,
Where courage learned to sign its name.

Each ruby gleams with silent battles,
Each blackened edge recalls the cost.
Queens are not born in peaceful gardens
They’re found where others thought lost.

The fire does not ask permission,
It simply dances through the night.
It burns away what never served me,
Leaving only fearless light.

Let them watch these crimson flames,
Let whispers gather with the smoke.
I’ve survived what would have shattered
Every promise lesser spirits spoke.

So if you see my crown still burning,
Do not pity what I’ve known.
For every flame became my kingdom…
And every scar became my throne.
